内容简介：This report reflects conceptions of good life and the art of living under late modern conditions of fluidity and constant social change by comparing an ancient Chinese classic with a modern Western iconoclast. Both Zhuāngzǐ and Friedrich Nietzsche question the impetus and the telos of their respective cultural environments, and both address the individual in her search for self-cultivation in times of accelerating life-worlds. Similarities and differences between Nietzsche and the Zhuāngzǐ regarding style, content, and perspective not only provide fruitful ground for comparative studies, but they also help to comprehend the experience of increasingly fast changing life-worlds in East and West and to investigate the opportunities of revised and secularized concepts of aesthetic cultivation of ourselves and the world we live in.
